No one is safe in China. That's what Peter Humphrey, a British citizen, a former journalist, and a private investigator, found out the hard way. After being hired by pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, he ended up imprisoned in China for almost two years with his wife. He was drugged, put into a steel cage, and made a forced confession on Chinese state-run media. That was broadcast around the world, including in the United Kingdom. And now the man responsible for making the propaganda news of Peter's forced confession, James Chau, is a goodwill ambassador to the World Health Organization.
